This is a fragment of a conference given by Fernando Parro a survivor of the Andes' plane crash 36 years after it who had to eat death human meat to survive :
“Businesses are important, Jobs are important too But the most valuable thing in life is at home: FAMILY.
My life had changed and the most valuable thing I lost was my family that I had not anymore once I got back home.
Do not neglect who you have by your side because you do not know what is going to happen tomorrow.
NOTHIN IN LIFE JUSTIFIES THE NEGLECTING OF A FAMILY.
If you do have a loving home, think as I do that you are a LUCKY person!!.
You are traveling on the file # 9 and believe me most people travel on behind the number 9 file.
(The one who survived where traveling up to file 9)

pedro27: i mean if your plane crashed and you were miles away from rescue, like the film ''alive'' would you eat another human?
I read the book many years ago, excellent read and how sad that it actually happened and being a soccer fan at the time thought wow who would have seen that curve ball coming. After I read the book I asked myself the question you posted..back then my answer was sliding towards yes as I had young children,now my answer would be no.
its kind of easy to sit here with a full belly and say i wouldn't. i'd like to think i wouldn't.
i will say that your logic and thinking changes more dramatically than you might imagine after being hungry for a while.
i was in a situation once where i didn't eat for about two weeks. i found myself literally hating people that were entering a restaurant, just because i knew they were going to go in, sit down, order food, and eat.
there was still a small part of my brain telling me, "hey, you know this isn't logical, right?"
but the rest of my brain was filled with venom.
i wonder how many more days it would have taken for the rest of my brain to kill off what remained of the logical part.
